The Logical Song

Supertramp

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me.
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible, logical, oh responsible, practical.
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep, and questions run too deep, for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned.
I know it sounds absurd.
Please tell me who I am.
I say 'Now watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.'
Oh won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable.
Oh, take, take, take it, yeah!
But at night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep, for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned.
I know it sounds absurd.
Please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am!
Woo!
Hey.
'Cause I'm feeling so illogical.
Yeah!
D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Digital.
Yeah, one, two, three, five!
Huh, huh, huh, oh yeah.
Ooh, you're given unbelievable.
Yeah!
Ya, ya, da, da!
Ooh-wee!
Huh, huh, huh, huh.
